} vexation

i have been very irritated with my church for the past few weeks. im angry with how its so superficial. especially the priests themselves.

i hate how they keep asking for support for the church's renovation plans. i mean argh what for?! there are people out there who need food, clothes, a house. and here you are emptying our pockets so the church can have aircon? and an underground carpark??!! its ridiculous.

and i hate how all priests seem to do is preach and eat and sleep! okay, so thats their job. but when the old ladies clean the church every friday, no one else is around, not one single priest stays back just to supervise or help out or something. the head priest is much younger than the lady in charge of the cleaning, and he's also a good deal fatter. its revolting.

and dont get me started on their sermons!

actually theres only one priest that i like in my church. because of his sermons. he seems to be the only one i can really agree with. today's sermon was really nice, he talked about the coming of the Lord, which seems to be just about the only thing priests ever preach about these days, but did it in a different way.

anyway he went into the issue of condemning non-christians for being, well, non-christians. he basically said that you dont have to be Christian to follow Christ's ways. as long as you try your best to do good, you're a christian in your own right. i liked that. its the sort of thing people need to believe at this time...

i went to read jk rowling interviews yesterday, cos i recently got into a hp fandom again, and there was one part where she mentioned bigotry - how people treat others who are different as 'evil', which is something pretty evident in the hp books. and this morning i was watching gundam seed destiny and the 'naturals' were pledging war against the 'coordinators'... and its the same thing all over again.

its quite scary, maybe we dont feel it if we're the majority, but what if we are the ones being pushed around? what if people want to kill you for being what you are?

oh. well. went too deep again. anyway! back to my old hp fandom now! might even start writing fanfics again. bahahahha.

dunno what else to write. i'll resume to stoning now.
